    So I've just read a message:

    >How do I determine what the highest object number is? Is there a built-in
    >verb I can call from my programs to do this?

    ...which had a signature identifying the sender as a wizard on one MOO and
    as an ArchWizard on two others.

    I think this underscores even more the need for supportive, LambdaCore-
    based environments for people to learn programming, before they get the
    .wizard bit and have the potential to break everything.  (One's first
    UNIX account should never be root. :-)

    I don't have the resources to run yet another MOO, but I would be willing
    to help -- in my very limited free time -- set up a free-progbit LambdaCore-
    based MOO for people to cut their teeth.  (Plus it would stop me from screaming
    "RTFM DAMN IT" over and over and disturbing my neighbors.)

    Rabbits on walls, no problem.    a tear of true repentance.
